The Halcyon Archipelago of Ko-oren is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dhunerin Laurderinthen with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 28.431 billion Ko-orenites are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geh-Mae-May-Sen. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ko-orenite economy, worth a remarkable 6,708 trillion Koronas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 235,955 Koronas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, the horniness of the great-horned Dragonfly is considered a national priority, and criminal rehabilitation takes place in re-education centers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ko-oren's national animal is the Dragonfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Monradhity.

Ko-oren is ranked 283,397^th in the world and 73^rd in Anaia for Most Devout, with 1.78 prayers per hour.
